In this installment, we examine the changing perception of Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS)—a multifaceted condition that commonly arises after mild traumatic brain injuries. Even though it is frequently encountered, PCS poses challenges in terms of definition and diagnosis due to the subjective characteristics of symptoms, their similarity with other ailments, and the lack of distinct biological indicators.
We investigate how the criteria for diagnosis have evolved, transitioning from the defined framework in ICD-10 to more refined methodologies in ICD-11 and DSM-5, which present PCS within broader neurocognitive or symptom-focused categories. What are the consequences of this transition for healthcare providers, individuals affected, and researchers?
Join our discussion on the clinical obstacles, the rationale for a multidisciplinary and domain-specific evaluation approach, and the growing significance of digital health technologies and biomarkers in enhancing diagnosis and ongoing care for individuals experiencing PCS.
